According to the school’s website out-of-state tuition sits at $60.5k (makes me feel better about how much I’m paying for my MBA)
The boys played 39 games last year, so it comes out to about $1.5k a game. Now that’s steep for courtside seats for a college basketball game. But you factor in that you get locker room access and you’re sitting spitting distance from Hurley himself, that’s above and beyond the average game day experience! Not to mention the added bonus of going through a natty run and having free transportation and room and board while on the road.
I hear your point on competitive spirit and loving the game. Well, he got to share the practice court with some of the best players at the collegiate level as well as access to top class training facilities. I’m not sure if walk-ons get the same academic benefits such real athletes, so I’ll just add that the 60k comes with a pretty decent education attached to it as well.
If I were him I would have hung around with the fellas for four years, played basketball behind closed doors at the Werth center, lost my mind on the sidelines (collecting rings?), and graduate into an actual job with some incredible stories.
